NOTES ATTORNEYS UNDER THE FOREIGN AGENTS

REGISTRATION ACT OF 1938

For the past two years the Foreign Agents Registration Act of I938 1

has been the center of much debate and criticism~ :In the spring of 1963, the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations conducted a series of hearings, which brought to light a mushrooming of representational activity, and searched into the apparent failure of the Department of Justice to enforce the act; through these inquiries, the committee at­tempted to clarify the act's purposes and scope. Soon, after these hear­ings, important amendments were proposed by Senators Fulbright and Hickenlooper and passed by the Senate near the end of the final session of the 88th Congress.2 The amendments will probably be reintroduced in the 89th Congress. Finally, the Supreme Court last Term in Rabinowitz u. Kennedy 3 dealt for the first time with the applicability of the act to practicing attorneys and seemed, through the use of broad language, to extend the act to activities never before' thought to come within its scope.

This Note will deal with the status of attorneys under the act today. The potential effects of the proposed amendments will also be con· sidered, and certain alterations will be proposed to ensure that the goals of the amendments are actually achieved.

1. THE ACT TODAY

A. The General Scheme

I. Basic Provisions. - The core of the Foreign Agents Registration Act lies in its first three sections, which define the operative terms Hforeign principal" and "agent of a foreign principal," require regis­tration by those defined as agents, and provide certain broad exemp­tions from the act. The term "foreign principal" is broadly defined to include not merely foreign governments and foreign political parties but also, with certain minor exceptions;' aU individuals, groups of individuals, or corporations located outside the Uniteq States.a "Agent

.Foreign Agents Registration Act •

The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) was enacted in 1938. FARA is a disclosure statute that requires persons acting as agents of foreign principals in a political or quasi-political capacity to make periodic public disclosure of their relationship with the foreign principal, as well as activities, receipts and disbursements in support of those activities. Disclosure of the required information facilitates evaluation by the government and the American people of the statements and activities of such persons in light of their function as foreign agents. The FARA Registration Unit of the Counterespionage Section (CES) in the National Security Division (NSD) is responsible for the administration and enforcement of the Act.
